It’s that time of the year again. The snow is on the ground, the houses are decorated, Christmas songs are in abundance on the radio, the stores are crowded….. and our clients are looking for meaningful gifts for their family and friends. And you have the answer – a beautiful, relaxing, de-stressing massage. Now who wouldn’t want that under the Christmas tree?
Brittany Thaxton with Massage Envy was on Good Things Utah to talk about the benefits of massage.
•Massage therapy has long been regarded as a stress reliever – a somewhat luxurious exercise for luxury-minded people.
•It certainly is a stress reliever – there’s nothing like a good massage to relax you and make you feel rejuvenated.
•However, massage is not just for spa-goers anymore.
•These days, there is increasing evidence for and people are having more experiences with massage as an integral part of an ongoing health-and-wellness program.
•Serious athletes have long known and weekend sports enthusiasts are now learning that massage can reduce soreness and recovery time following physical activity.
•According to the Mayo Clinic:

oStress relief
oManaging anxiety and depression
oPain
oStiffness
oBlood pressure control
oSports-related injuries
oBoosting immunity
oCancer treatment
•The key in therapeutic massage is consistency. A massage once a year is fun, but the real benefits come with monthly sessions … or even more often, depending on your level of physical activity.
•At this time of year, we think of two things: holiday gifts and planning for the new year. Massage is a great fit for both.
oOn the gift side, Massage Envy is currently offering a FREE 1 hour massage when you buy three $50 gift cards. That’s four gifts … gift cards for three loved ones and free massage for you.
oFor the new year, it’s a great idea to begin a regular therapeutic massage wellness program. You can get started with a one-hour massage for $39 at Massage Envy … consult with your therapist on the best program for you going forward.
